    Hi,

     

    Our respondents have noticed that DOB, Departure date, and Arrival dates are being entered wrong into the system. It is subtracting one day from the date they entered. Why is this happening?

    I checked some of your submissions and compared the dates that user received in autoresponder and dates that are in submissions page. They are matching. Also, I did a test submission:

    But I wasn't able to replicate that issue as well.

    The dates are showing properly:

    If the issue persists please share the more information about in which submissions did you notice this irregularity?

    Thank you!

    Quite a few people have reported this issue. Try using a different range in
    dates. Do you want the names of the respondents in which this issue
    occurred? There has been about 5 respondents that noticed this issue.

    Yes, that would help if you could provide examples of this issue so we can check rather than submitting the form at this time.

    We'll wait for your response.

    Thank you!

    I am currently checking your form but so far, I am not able to replicate. I will be back as soon as I am able to replicate the issue.

    I am not able to replicate the issue on my end. Is this form embedded to a webpage where your customers are submitting it? If so, please give us the URL of the page so we can check.

    I went to check your dates one more time, but the dates are not showing there:

    Did you change anything in those submissions?

    We'll wait for your response.

    Thank you!

    I just changed the format from date to short answer so people can just type
    the physical numbers in so there are no discrepancies. I concluded that
    people who used chrome or their phone to fill out the form saw issues with
    the dates.

    Thank you for letting us know. We would appreciate you letting us know if you notice any similar issues with those fields.

    I did a quick test on my phone and I used date field but I wasn't able to replicate this issue.

    If you have any further concerns please let us know.
